Loading ...They may be ditching the exclamation point from their name and chucking the contortionists to the curb, but Panic At The Disco’s video for the (still ridiculously catchy) “Nine In The Afternoon” is a sign that they’re still all about the showmanship, with splashes of bright color, a Beatles-like chase scene that seemingly was inspired by a Rennaisance Faire that took place on a golf course, and what looks to be a single-band-handed attempt to bring the facial hair stylings of Rollie Fingers to the children. Plus, the whole dream motif of the video means that they’ll still get “Brendon is so cute in his PJS!!!!!!!!” comments from the YouTube faithful. Oh, those boys are so, so canny! [YouTube]

Wow, you’re starting my day off with a crazy catchy popsong that I’ll be hating myself for singing all day and a Rollie Fingers reference? Thanks, Maura.
While I am still disappointed that the removal of the ‘!’ has prevented me from writing lines like “I am going! to the movies” and “It is! time for that meeting” , often providing a much needed chuckle from my mundane office life, I do love this song and video. Props to patd for giving ‘A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out’ a proper follow up.
And please don’t ban me for publicly outing myself as a patd fan!! I LOVE IDOLATOR
You say Beatles-like; I say Tears For Fears.
@The Illiterate: well, the chase scene is beatlesy. the music actually is making me wonder if someone snuck a copy of jellyfish’s spilt milk into the panic members’ CD collections. and anyone reading this site knows i don’t take comparisons to that band lightly. (if any readers know whether or not any ex-jellyfish types produced/played extra instruments on this album, speak up!)
They’ve really cut some of the lyrical excess. Good song, but not as energetic as “I Write Sins, Not Tragedies.” The video reminded me less of the Beatles than Cirque du Soleil’s “Love,” of which I saw plenty last night.
@HONEYBFLY: We can have our own little group – Idolator Fans for PATD or something.
Where is it ever nine in the afternoon? Alaska in summer?
